Kevin Morby - Harlem River (2013)

Driving down the road with a full pack of smokes and some coffee seems like the perfect introduction for this album. Kevin Morby (also in woods/babies) puts out his emotional debut LP with sounds of a dreamy landscape and truthful lyrics, perfect setting for an urban environment. Pretty solid album but I actually do not like the titled track(which is normally one of the better ones). Anyways, I like to think music can cure your problems and this is some good medicine. Alittle different from what I normally post but good music is good music and moods are moods so "chill out man" and go get lost.

The Ruins of Beverast - Blood Vaults (2013)

Enchanting double LP release from Germany's Alexander von Meilenwald's (ex-Nagelfar) solo project The Ruins of Beverast. This album is very well produced/written for only being one member and takes you on a long and dark journey through a world unknown. "Blood Vaults" (best listened in entirety) has a melodic heart while throughout, raking you into a murky pit deep inside Freddy Krueger's dreams. Passage ways only the sick and the bottom feeders can get to with songs like "Spires, The Wailing City" and immediately into "A Failed Exorcism". This is the 4th full length since 2004 when he had started and the first I have actually listened to. Lastly "Blood Vaults" dominating essence will cover you in its cozy death metal blanket and kiss you goodnight in hell.

Crawling out of Olympia Washington, Milk Music put out this meaningful LP which has a guitar tone that will make you shed a tear. "Cruise Your Illusion" came out of Fat Possum Records this year and this really had to grow on me. First listen wasn't to impressed, then a month later,didn't get it, then I spun this again and slapped myself cause i must have been brain dead, now I cannot stop listening. Sounds of the 90's flood this album with acid-washed jeans and monotone vocals giving "Cruse Your Illusion" a sense of freedom and authenticity. Once your ears "get" it you will love it.

Extortion - Loose Screws (2010)

Some bad-ass power violence grinding its way from Perth, Australia. These dudes have a pissed off,short tempered, ADD infused style which is right up my alley and with some of the best t-shirt/artwork designs for this genre. I insist that you play this loudly to damage your tympanums and dance around like an idiot by yourself in your kitchen. At least that's what I do and it makes perfect sense. If its too fast your too old.

Ex-Cult is giving us this too cool for school vibe hailing from Memphis TN. Actually had the chance to stumble upon them at UNfest2 and they absolutely KILL IT live. Alot of energy is built into this band which you can easily hear from this 5 piece. Each unique with their instruments showcasing their musical post-punk choice, reminds me of a very European style. Instead of wanting to go rage hell, Ex-Cult gives me more of a strive to get shit done and be productive. Keep it up y'all. Use your minds and create what you love.

The Ding-Dongs - s/t (2010)

Kick ass rockabilly/garage from our friends up north (Montreal). I mean, I feel privileged to have seen these guys, not the ding-dongs, but Mark Sultan and Bloodshot Bill killing it in their other acts King Khan & BBQ show and Bloodshot Bill "himself". Really fun listen to get your hips shaken so grab that gal of yours and do the twist. This album has perfect amount of grit recording for any range of ears and I personally think that Sultan's voice could carry over anything. A 2 piece that is better then your 5 piece.

Through the mist and the fog on one triumphant night. You will be forging through the woods on a path to self realization. A path that you will make peace, and only at the end will you call yourself King. The cold ground beneath you and the wet leaves of the trees remind you of your pride in taking this journey. Take this Icelandic and German folk/black metal LP as your map and cheers me on the other side.

Gigan - Multi-Dimensional Fractal Sorcery and Super Science

Good luck thinking while this band is playing. Gigan is one brilliant band that seems to have no worries about getting noticed. Time and space might be the ONLY thing this band cares about and you might question yourself if your here to please or here to serve. Destruction fills the room with sonic guitars and bushing drums that will literally knock your Stance socks off. In the best way possible, Gigan will make sure you listen to technical death metal the one and only way, Loud and Confused. Chicago USA, has never been the same since.

Catholic Spray - Earth Slime

French garage punk that will get you in a serious no work/fuck work, all play attitude. I had my chance to go see these dudes in DC about a month or so ago but they switched venues last minute. Earth Slime brings to you a swarming of guitar tones that will smash your parents Volkswagen Beetle's windows out with the 60's reverb and haunting vocals that come from your neighbors ghost down the hall. This album came out 3/1/13 and has been blowing my speakers out ever since. Your eardrums will thank me later. Your welcome.

From the graves of Colorado USA, Skeleton of God has got to be one of the most underrated bands in this genre. Instantly when you press play, you get sucked into another dimension with this overwhelming sense of a psychedelic mind fuck. With vocals, straight from Satan himself, and the band working together to create a wall of immaculate sound which varies from psych-rock to death metal without skipping a beat. The artwork itself is bewitching. Go lay on your couch and turn this way up.

Tsjuder - Legion Helvete

Tsjuder's(NOR)Legion Helvete is a goddamn wrecking ball to your eardrums. I love this album. It would be one of my top 10 for 2013 but it came out in 2011. Insanely fast driven with guitar tones that siren through your head and with drums that i could not even do with a drum machine. Your neck will hurt after this listen.

Tubronegro does not mess around with their antics for playing some of the best "party" rock and roll and its actually good! I could not even count how many times our crew has ripped a house apart because of these dudes. They bring the punk attitude to the cock rock. It's funny cause i used to judge them poorly cause of Bam's shows playing them, and then i actually listened to them. Hope you will too. Put on your jean jacket, get ripped and have fun!

Wake up wearing sunglasses with this cool jem. Coming from Austin TX, Rayon Beach ensures you that your day will get better by implanting guitar fuzz into your brain and making you forget everything important for a duration of 31 min. Songs like "airplane with tits" and "staring out of an apartment" carry with you all day. Also, this album is scientifically proven to increase your pick up rate with the ladies.

Windhand - Soma

Just got off work and nothing better to finish the night up with Richmond's Windhand. Just as ear punishing as Electric Wizard but carry their own style like fucking champs. Excited to get blown away like a maxwell tape commercial when i see them at MDF 2014. This debut Relapse release wraps you up in a cocoon with Dorthia's vocals and guitars that demand no mercy. Listen up, Listen loud.

Liquor Store "Yeah Buddy" is for partying your ass off. Turn this New Jersey garage punk way up and go have fun. This LP came out July 25th 2011 and their newest called "In the garden" just came out in October of this year. They are playing in Baltimore 12/8/13 the this windup space.

Antropomorphia's "Evangelium Nekromantia" is a force of melodic death metal that will get any metalheads respect. This album came out 10/22/12 and their hailing from Neatherlands. Not the best stuff out there but they had my head moving the whole time.

Second LP from an amazing post-punk band from Sweden. This album has a dark yet sincere sound of a pissed off society. If you live in the Baltimore/DC area they are playing DC9 on dec 4th!
